Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Brooklyn Botanic Garden brings plant collections, landscape design, and public education together in a city setting. Its Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden, completed in 1915, was among the earliest public Japanese gardens in the United States.
Brooklyn Bridge
Brooklyn Bridge’s granite towers and web of steel cables make its structure readable from the pedestrian promenade. When it opened in 1883, the bridge joined two separate cities and became the world’s longest suspension bridge.
Brooklyn Bridge Park
Brooklyn Bridge Park reclaims former cargo piers along the East River, preserving industrial traces while opening the waterfront to lawns, beaches, and public paths. The park’s design lets visitors meet the working harbor at the water’s edge.
Brouwerij ’t IJ
Brouwerij ’t IJ began in a former Amsterdam bathhouse, where musician Kaspar Peterson started brewing after discovering craft beers abroad. Its setting beside the De Gooyer windmill connects a modern brewing story to the city’s older industrial edge and gives the brewery a distinctive landmark backd
Brouwersgracht
Brouwersgracht joins the canal ring near the old western edge, its name preserving a brewing history. Look at the warehouses and loading-sized doors that hint at the movement of grain, fuel, and finished goods.
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace’s familiar east façade and central balcony were added as the building was adapted for royal life in the nineteenth century. What looks like a single grand frontage is the result of successive architectural choices and changing public ceremony.
Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple rises above Chinatown in a richly ornamented Tang-inspired style. Its design draws on Buddhist mandala symbolism, while the temple remains an active place of worship and cultural education.
Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon Hanok Village is a lived-in Seoul neighborhood between Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, and Jongmyo Shrine. Its traditional houses preserve distinctive rooflines and courtyards, but residents’ everyday lives remain central; visitors should keep voices low and respect private homes.
Bukit Bintang
Bukit Bintang’s dense shopping streets gather malls, hotels, pedestrian crossings, restaurants, and nightlife within a small central district. Its changing character is easiest to read through the shift from daytime retail movement to evening food and entertainment.
Bulgarian Church of St Stephen (Iron Church)
Bulgarian Church of St Stephen stands by Istanbul’s Golden Horn, its cast-iron structure giving it the familiar name Iron Church. The prefabricated metal components were transported to the site and assembled here, making the building both a place of worship and an engineering landmark.
Bunkers of Carmel
Turó de la Rovira holds a layered record of Barcelona: Civil War anti-aircraft positions, postwar shanty housing, and the present-day city spread below. The Bunkers of Carmel viewpoint is meaningful because the same hill served both defence and home.
Burj Al Arab
Burj Al Arab rises from a man-made island off the Jumeirah coast, with a sail-like silhouette inspired by Gulf maritime heritage. Architect Tom Wright’s design turns the image of a dhow sail into a contemporary landmark visible across Dubai’s shoreline.
Burj Khalifa
Burj Khalifa’s soaring form is supported by a three-winged, Y-shaped plan around a reinforced central core. The geometry helps resist wind while organizing the tower’s structure, making its record height a product of engineering choices as much as visual ambition.
Byodo-in
Byodo-in’s Phoenix Hall appears to float above its pond, its wings reflected in the water. The temple’s garden was shaped to evoke the Buddhist Pure Land, making architecture and landscape part of a carefully composed religious image.
Caelum
Caelum brings monastery-made sweets and recipes into Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Its founders visited Spanish monasteries to learn traditional techniques, then built a shop around the makers and practices that preserve regional confectionery beyond the walls of convents.
Café Friedberg
Café Friedberg occupies a former funeral hall at Friedrichswerder Cemetery. Its vaulted brick arches frame a café where everyday conversation now takes place beside a landscape of remembrance. The building’s new use shows how a historic service space can gain a public life without losing its past.
Café Papeneiland
Café Papeneiland stands at the corner of Prinsengracht and Brouwersgracht in a building dating to 1641–42. Its stepped gables and canal-side position preserve the feel of an old trading house, while its café use began centuries later.
CaixaForum Madrid
CaixaForum Madrid turns a former power station into a cultural center whose most striking feature is its apparent suspension above the street. Brickwork, a lifted base, and a living wall make the building itself an exhibit in urban reuse.
California Science Center
California Science Center presents science through hands-on galleries and major artifacts in Exposition Park. The Space Shuttle Endeavour anchors its aerospace story, connecting visitors to the engineering, teamwork and research behind human spaceflight.
Camden Market
Camden Market grew from a small arts-and-crafts fair beside the Regent’s Canal into a collection of markets and yards. The industrial buildings and canal routes help explain the area’s change from warehouses and distilleries to independent traders, music venues, and a meeting place for subcultures.
Çamlıca Mosque
The great dome of Büyük Çamlıca Mosque rises above Istanbul’s Asian side, joining a contemporary complex to recognizable Ottoman architectural forms. The site combines a functioning place of worship with cultural facilities, so its scale serves both spiritual and civic life.
Çamlıca Tower
Çamlıca Tower gathers antennas once scattered across the hill into a single communications structure. At 587 metres above sea level, it changes the skyline while serving a practical purpose: coordinating radio and television broadcasts from one site.
Camoes Garden
Camões Garden is a wooded hillside park with layered paths and the grotto associated by local tradition with poet Luís de Camões. Its mature trees and old estate setting preserve a distinctive green pocket within Macao’s dense peninsula.
Camoes Square
Camões Square is a leafy public garden near Casa Garden, St. Anthony’s Church, and the Protestant Cemetery. Its shaded paths and benches offer a quieter view of Macao’s historic center, where cultural, religious, and residential sites meet.
